Email, which is one of the oldest services available on the internet, is a key mechanism via which you can reach out to your users. Over the last year, the number of services providing this infrastructure as a service has grown to include 6 email sending APIs. The newest, Amazon Simple Email Service, validates the market.

LaunchBit, an email ad network, has announced a text ad API. Whether email publishers are blasting status updates, announcements or other news, the LaunchBit API will allow advertisements within the email to make API calls to data relevant to the ad. Monetizing websites with Ads has long been sound practice; however, monetizing emails is somewhat of an untapped market. With easy integration through an API, LaunchBit intends to take advantage of this underdeveloped market.
